For building latest synaptics package:
- sudo apt-get build-dep xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
- apply patches from SuSe
- dpkg-buildpackage -b
After that install custom package:
- dpkg -i ../xserver-xorg-input-synaptics-[ur package version].deb
- echo xserver-xorg-input-synaptics** hold | sudo tee dpkg —set-selections
# prevent package upgrade
For dkms(It's not good idea for using enable/disable touchpad, cuz sometimes
kernel crashes):
- get kernel source by apt-get
- make dir smth like /usr/src/psmouse and copy /usr/src/linux-source-[ur
version]/drivers/input/mouse to it.
- make file dkms.conf:
PACKAGE_NAME="psmouse"
PACKAGE_VERSION="____ur kernel version_______"
CLEAN="rm -f *.*o"
BUILT_MODULE_NAME[0]="psmouse"
MAKE[0]="make -C $kernel_source_dir
M=$dkms_tree/$PACKAGE_NAME/$PACKAGE_VERSION/build/src psmouse.ko"
BUILT_MODULE_LOCATION[0]="mouse"
DEST_MODULE_LOCATION[0]="/updates"
AUTOINSTALL="yes"
- sudo dkms add -m psmouse -v [ur kernel version]
- sudo dkms build -m psmouse -v [ur kernel version]
- sudo dkms install -m psmouse -v [ur kernel version]
